Now that the shock has worn off, some of the worries I have: They want me there by December 1. I still Am employed by my other job now and its like where do I find the time and money?????? Gots no money in the bank because my current jobs pays nothing at all. No exaggeration paid rent which is cheap and had like $70 leftover to survive for two weeks. Also now I feel bad because of the weight i have lost I only have a pair of black trousers that fit to my name, a short sleeve pink blouse and a sweater vest pullover. Totally not prepared for the weather. I have a two chinos but they are too big in the butt and waist area. Other than that no real professional tops. This is a teaching job by the way. I am still excited but now I am worried. And before anyone asks,for the situation I am in,this job is best for me because the probability of finding something in Georgia was disheartening.

I am being heavily pursued by an extremely attractive man who cant spell. I cant get past it, therefore I am upset. That is all.

I speak from experience. My husband is very good looking BUT thankfully he's very intelligent also. Spelling just isn't one of his strengths. (I don't understand why his teachers weren't sticklers for spelling but that's off-topic.)

Hubs is an avid reader, so he's well informed about current events and even self-educated in a number of topics. By far I'm no Einstein, but I'm impressed by his knowledge of topics that I have a hard time wrapping my brain around (investments, economics, law), so his knack for spelling "spelling" with only one "L" gets a pass. If anything his spelling (or lack thereof) is now a common joke between us.

I think it depends on the words the guy has trouble spelling. If you can't spell "arachnophobia" we can still be cool but if you can't spell "fear of spiders" then it's over.

Remember how in junior high the guys would pass you love notes. Some of the notes I got the handwriting was so jacked up I couldn't even make out the letters to know if it was mispelled. LOL

So sounds like I will get money I just don't know how much. I have no emergency credit card, BUT randomly my Lane Bryant Credit Card works again so I have purchased a black blazer and will get some slacks and hope the size 14 will work because women's 14 on the bottom fits me kinda big sometimes. My old roommate has volunteered her dad to pack up a drive the truck to MI so I'm waiting for confirmation. I am looking for more places later on.

Anyhoo, once you get settled, you gotta drive down to where I work, so we can have lunch, and shop at...SEPHORA (once you get settled in you new job)!!

It's not hard to say. But should've and would've are real contractions and 've sounds like of.

I'm not really defending dumbasses. They should burn in hell for failing to use correct grammar. But some people don't know cause they don't care to know. They're okay with sounding like an idiot. Just saying...

What gets to me is when people use the wrong word, but ther wrong word is spelled differently and is usually longer than the right word. I've gotten texts where people have used "weight" in place of "wait" and "shore" instead of "sure". My grammar isn't always perfect, and I don't quite care for the so-called "Grammar Nazi" thing, but some things seem like they should stand out enough for you to question whether it's right or not...right? lol
